What is it?

WojtekS · 06-20-2014, 03:40 PM

Hi,
Recently I've seen banana, but no idea how to call it.
Do you have any idea?
I suspect that this is musa balbisiana.

Hello WojtekS,
I am certainly not a banana identification expert, but I agree with you that those plants look very much like Balbisiana. Two of the most unique features of Balbisiana are its very narrow sword like leaves and very thin pseudostems. Also, they tend to grow very tall and wiry, and have a more blue-green color to them. Naturally, they have small, densely seeded fruit. They could also be a relative of bananas, but it's hard to tell. Hopefully someone with more experience can give their vote! Best wishes and hello from the USA!

Just looked at your blog, you have a great variety of bananas, I am impressed. Just one thing, how come they are all so small and it's already September? Are all these first year seedlings?

WojtekS · 08-11-2014, 06:07 PM

RafaelNJ jeśli chcesz po polsku ; ) Od czegoś trzeba zacząć swoją kolekcje. Banany deserowe dadzą wiele satysfakcji jesli doczekasz się własnych owoców czego Ci życzę.
Moje banany są małe, bo większość kupiłem dopiero w tym roku, a w Polsce rosną dosyć wolno (z powodu niezbyt tropikalnej pogody), jedynie maurelli dorósł do 190cm.

Aha czyli tak samo jak ja

wszystko kupione w tym roku. Takze nie mamy za bardzo cieplej pogody w tym roku o dziwo i pewnie dlatego tak bardzo nie rosna! Z tego co slysze od rodzicow to w PL cieplej w tym roku jak u nas. Moze nastepny rok bedzie lepszy. Poczekaj rok lub dwa i beda duze banany. Co do owocow to marnie to widze ale zobaczymy

chcialem sprobowac.

WojtekS · 08-13-2014, 02:02 AM

Tak, faktycznie jest znacznie cieplej niż zwykle. Ja też marnie widze uprawę do owoców, ale chcę próbować, dlatego kupiłem teraz z Niemiec dwarf manzano, więc zobaczymy za kilka lat. Życzę Ci powodzenia w uprawie bananów! : )
Pozdrawiam.

Ok now that we have exchanged our welcomes in our native tounge I guess we should go back to English since it is an English speaking forum

sorry to get you off this track earlier. From what I see you might have better luck getting fruit as you are in a higher zone then I am. Good Luck
